How I planned an Amalfi Coast 1st birthday party for my daughter. Spritzes, lemons, gelato, and of course, a pizza truck.
I like the Octonauts show, I think it's cute, educational and not annoying like some children's cartoons. I create a round-up of free print...

Ever have those kind of days where, after the fact, you continue to relive it over and over in your brain? Just thinking over the festivities of that day and every detail that made it special.. The first time I ever did this was for my wedding. I was awake all night and unable to come down from the high of the ceremony and the amazing reception. I did this again the day that the girls were born. I could stop staring at them - all night. And I did it again last night. This weekend was one of those times. I couldn't stop thinking about what a great time with weekend was - with our closest friends and family there to share it with our family of four, to celebrate our baby girls Parker and Jolie. The theme started as Pancakes and Pajamas. After scouring Pinterest, it turned into 'If You Give a Pig a Pancake". AND then I made the transition to polka dot everything.. So, in the end, these 2 year olds' birthday party was a mesh of all those things. And I am so proud of how everything turned out:) Invites went out the first week of November and shared the theme and colors of purple, pink, and gold - and also instructed the guests to wear their favorite jammies. I was ELATED when our sweet adult friends showed up in their flannel pjs and slippers. These sweet 2 year olds had a BLAST. Last year they were overwhelmed. Cried through eating anything. Cried through the singing of Happy Birthday. Cried through the 'cake smash'. Parker wouldn't leave my lap. Jolie stayed close to her BB. It was sort of a mess. After everyone was gone, my girls turned into their normal selves and inhaled every last bit of food I put front of them. This year was much different. They knew this day was coming and was so excited that it was finally here! "Is it your birthday today??" enthusiastically nodding and bawling some form of the word 'birthday'. "How old are you? Are you TWO??" "TWOOOOOOOO" My little BFF's couldn't have a better partner to share this young life with. Their actual birthday was the day of the party, so it made turning 2 extra special! the D E C O R I kept the decor and menu simple. I found myself to be SO thankful for that at midnight on Friday night before the party. A real stack of confetti pancakes with cake icing to blow their two candles out while we all sang 'Happy Birthday' The guests got to their choice of strawberry or vanilla cupcakes with buttercream icing, confetti sprinkles, and gold glitter dust. the M E N U The party was early in the day (10am), so breakfast was served! A full Pancake Bar with all kinds of toppings to decorate your buttermilks. Fruit salad, smoked bacon, and maple chicken breakfast sausage were also served. REAL maple syrup I had a half second thought to go IHOP style and offer several different flavored syrups.. and then I came across the idea of flavored butter after Ashley had pinned it to our secret board and I decided I loved that idea much better Piggie Punch was served in 16oz glass milk bottles and paper straws. Chocolate milk for the kiddos and mimosas for the adults My children were again overwhelmed, but really loving having all of their little friends and familiar adults around. They ate a little here and there, but really.. they saved their appetites for all the sugar. H A P P Y birthday to Y O U We had practiced blowing out the candles beforehand, so I knew this wouldn't be an issue and they would love it! Jolie blew out her candle before we could even get Parker close enough. I have pictures with Jordan's hand over her mouth! So hilarious! We sang. We jumbled their names (because some said Parker and Jolie, while others said Jolie and Parker) and then they blew out the candles with so much delight. Watching their joy over such little things makes my heart want to explode. party G U E S T S Our babysitter, Dana - we ADORE her! When she walks in the door, Mom and Dad cease to exist. Auntie and Uncle J Our sweet little friend Lucas pulling game on Parker. She isn't buying it. Look at that stone face. Our other little friend Ayla sharing her cupcake. This little girls talked about the cupcakes from the moment she walked in the door - so sharing was huge and oh-so-sweet! We decided to attempt a picture with all the babes SO many outtakes, but all of them were my favorite because someone of doing something uber precious. I am personally a fan of the top right.. Landon was busy busy with his cupcake and had zero interest in hopping up on that couch with all the ladies. Baby Juliette (the newest member of our Supper Club crew) Jacob (just two weeks younger than Parker and Jolie) Fridge Face Parker More of the stone cold. She was so tired and coming down off of syrup, icing, fruit.. and now Smarties we were bribing all of the kiddos with to stay seated. Cousin Kendall (four months younger than the girls) Silly Jolie! Sweet Lucas! Love this kid Miss Ayla Baby CeCe (Lucas is her big brother) Gentry (Aylas' oldest sister) The is the best of family pictures - and I sort of adore it. My girls are so happy. I am so happy.. and none of us are looking at the camera. Perfection. A F T E R party Everyone left about 1pm, and Jordan and I attempted every which way to get our house back in order. The girls finally laid down for a nap - crashing hard the moment we turned on the sound machines. I laid down and slept with them - 4 hours later we were all awake and starving! Jordan and I decided to get dressed (like out of our jammies) and head out for dinner with just our family of four. bow / sweatshirt (similar) After dinner we took the girls to pick out their birthday present from Dad - a goldfish! At least that was our intention. We walked into Petsmart with the intention of getting 2 seventeen cent goldfish and a plastic bowl for $4.99. After expressing our desire to the fish expert at the store, he explained that we needed 1 gallon of water for every inch of fish.. basically - unless we were setting up a 10 gallon tank with a filter, yadda, yadda, he wouldnt recommend getting the goldfish. Okay. So. What do we get? $52 later (after getting everything we 'needed') we welcomed one brightly colored Beta fish to our family. bow / vest / denim shirt / boots Super low maintenance fun and the girls really love getting to feed him:) I still can't believe the weekend is over. It went by so quickly.. but it only seems fit for how fast this year has flown. My house looks as if nothing was out of the norm this weekend. It doesn't look like there were 28 people playing, chatting, eating, and celebrating together. Although. The huge number 2 balloon is still floating, and the glitter 'Let Them Eat Pancakes' is still hanging on the mirror in the kitchen. I can't bring myself to take those down just yet. They match so well with our hot pink and purple Christmas tree. I couldn't have asked for a better celebration of life for these two.

My daughters recently turned five. An odd thing, while living in Nicaragua I learned that they would say my daughters were now six years old because they had completed five years and were now in their sixth year. Anyway. One twin wanted a princess party, the other twin wanted a dinosaur party, so they got neither. I decided to throw them an Octonauts party, characters from some of their favorite books that recently began airing as a cartoon on Disney Jr. Now why, you might ask, would an Octonauts party be anything to write about? Well, the cartoon is too new that there is NO licensed merchandise yet state side, and even in the UK (where the cartoon originated) party supplies such as napkins and plates will not be available until mid June of 2012. I wish to qualify my efforts with two important things, that I was trying too hard to have all edibles at the party colored by natural colorants, and that all the preparations had to be kept secret from my girls as the theme of the party was to be a surprise. I Googled Octonauts parties and got lots of great ideas, to some degree I feel that my party was not that original. On eBay and ETSY there are folks selling Octonauts printables as "inspired by" and these items can be personalized for your child. I got invitations on eBay that looked like event tickets as well as 1 inch stickers that I used to seal the envelopes. On ETSY I got thank you cards, a HAPPY BIRTHDAY pennant banner, and Captain Barnacles hats. As there were no Octonauts items available for me to purchase to use as party favors, I had to get creative. Like many others I used Hershey bars with home-printed Octonauts labels wrapped around that I got on ETSY. Then I went to Meomi's website and printed off half-sheet sized coloring pages and color printed mazes, I home-printed 2.5 inch stickers that I also got on ETSY, and I included one of the 1 inch stickers as well. But the best part, and the only idea I can be proud of as uniquely my own, was that I included an Octonauts book in each goodie box. On eBay I found something called the Little Library, a boxed set of 5 tiny Octonauts board books, and a seller in the UK selling them so cheaply that even after shipping my net cost as about $2.20 per book. All these items were then placed in a white gable box to which I had affixed a blue bandage printed at home to make the box look like Peso's medical bag, an idea that I found here. The tables came with orange covers. I got blue paper cups that I put the 2.5 inch stickers on, and got matching blue spoons and forks. I used images from the ETSY seller and had custom napkins and plates printed. Hallmark.com was where I went for the plates, they required the ETSY seller to provide them with permission for a third party to print her design, but it was worth the hassle. The plates were amazing, heavy duty, and super well printed. I'd highly recommend Hallmark for plates. Napkins were a little tougher as there were few places that could do a full color napkin in the first place, then there were the minimums. I ended up going with Daisy Days and was very happy with the napkins and service, though was stuck with about 80 extra napkins, it was still worth it. I got 5 ounce clear plastic tumblers from Party City and filled them with naturally colored Goldfish crackers. I used the same cups to fill with blue gelatin. This was the next snag in the natural food coloring arena. The gelatin flavor had citric acid so the natural blue food coloring turned purple, so I resorted to artificial blue food coloring for this. I also was unable to find natural colored fish candies and wound up using small sized Swedish fish. When the gelatin was set I sliced into is and placed a fish inside. This idea originally came from Martha Stewart except in a punch bowl, I altered it for single servings. The place we had the party did not allow us to hang the banner, so I set it across the table like a center piece. The beverage was Great Value (Walmart) naturally colored and naturally flavored drink mix sweetened with stevia, blueberry flavor I believe. For the cakes, with twins, I always make sure they have their own cakes, just doesn't seem right to always have to share a birthday cake. I made two single layer 6 inch cakes using the white cake recipe from Cooks Illustrated but leaving out the almond flavoring. I used the same recipe to make 18 cupcakes. So many sites I looked at used fondant for decorations, but I felt that children were not as keen on that flavor and that I was a novice at it. So, I opted for a butter cream frosting, sugar runouts (color flows) for cupcake toppers, and modeling chocolate for cake decorations. For the icing and frosting recipes I decided to use India Tree's recipes since I was using their natural food coloring. I actually had a friend do most of the modeling while another friend and I worked on the sugar runouts. I was a novice at sugar runouts too, it showed, and I now have a new appreciation for what I see out there by way of this art. I do genuinely believe that had I just been using ready made (artificially colored) color flow mixes and such I'd have gotten better results. We had three hours before the girls got home so we had to hide our creations in the freezer. Sadly, not all the icing had dried before freezing so there were some issues when I went to place on them on the cupcakes the day of the party. But, as it was, the kids didn't notice the unprofessional toppers. For the cake decorations I chose the modeling chocolate, all naturally colored, from Chocolate Craft, OMG best decision ever! Excellent taste that any kid will devour, easy to use, and did I mention all natural colors? The girls loved their cakes and did not want to eat them because they thought they were so pretty. Baby B ended up biting the head off of the upside down frown fish on her cake, it was great. A final note of the cakes and cupcakes, the natural black food coloring I ordered online failed to arrive in time, so I did have to use artificial black coloring on the Peso cupcake toppers :( The surprise hit of the party, however, was the Pin the Patch on Kwazi, a game that can be had on ETSY. I had the PDF printed at Vistaprint.com to get it poster sized and then home printed the patches, cut them out, and put each kid's name on one. The venue allowed us to hang the poster for the game and on site I used double sided tape to get the patches to adhere. The kids lined up and couldn't wait for their turn and most went twice just for fun, I couldn't believe it! Well, even though I feel as though I've written enough to give someone sore eyes, I still feel like there were so many more details I could have explained, I guess that's where the comment box comes in handy. If you are reading this post because you are looking for ideas on how to throw your own Octonauts party, I hope I have helped!
